Curtis Bashaw's Unlikely Senate Bid: A Cape May Hotelier Takes on Representative Andy Kim

 Curtis Bashaw, a hotelier and political newcomer, is running as a Republican for New Jersey's U.S. Senate seat. He faces Democratic Rep. Andy Kim in a competitive race marked by contrasting views on key issues like abortion, immigration, and LGBTQ rights. Bashaw portrays himself as a moderate, socially liberal Republican but faces challenges appealing to voters in a state that hasn’t elected a Republican senator since 1952. Kim and Bashaw are set for a series of debates as Election Day approaches.

 The Philadelphia Phillies have secured their first NL East title since 2011 and a first-round bye in the MLB playoffs. With their playoff position set, they are aiming for the top seed in the National League, battling with the Dodgers and Padres. The Phillies will host the first two games of the NLDS starting October 5, with postseason tickets in high demand. Various scenarios remain in play for Philadelphia to secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, but they’ll need strong results in their final games against the Nationals and help from the Dodgers’ matchups against the Padres.
